Impacts of Peak‐Flow Events on Hyporheic Denitrification Potential

The potential impacts of climate variability and change on health impacts of extreme weather events in the United States.

Extreme weather events such as precipitation extremes and severe storms cause hundreds of deaths and injuries annually in the United States. Climate change may alter the frequency, timing, intensity, and duration of these events. Increases in heavy precipitation have occurred over the past century. Future climate scenarios show likely increases in the frequency of extreme precipitation events, ...

Impact of Salt on Denitrification Potential in Roadside Environments

Potential impacts of CF3I on ozone

Iodotrifluoromethane (CF 3 I) has been considered to be a candidate replacement for bromotrifluoromethane (CF 3 Br), which is used in aircraft for fuel inerting and for fire fighting. In this study, the chemical effects of aircraft-released CF 3 I on atmospheric ozone were examined with the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign 5 two-dimensional chemical-radiative-transport (UIUC 2-D CRT) ...

Potential Impacts of Nanoparticles on Water Reclamation

Nanotechnology is an emerging technology that could impact a wide range of industries in the near future. Nanotechnology involves production and use of extremely small particles (1 – 100 nm size scale), wherein the particle synthesis is controlled or manipulated at the molecular level (1). The nanoparticles are often used for industrial/commercial applications due to their extremely high reacti...

Impacts Of Hillslope And Floodplain Characteristics On Groundwater Dynamics: Implications For Riparian Denitrification

One of the beneficial roles of riparian buffers is the capacity to attenuate groundwater nitrate before it can discharge to streams. Denitrification is one of the most important processes that permanently removes nitrate from groundwater; it requires anoxic conditions, a carbon source, and a suitable residence time as the reaction is microbially mediated. As denitrification rates are highly dep...
